Barnabás Simon

I am a dual-qualified English and Hungarian Counsel in the Corporate/M&A team of the Budapest office, where I leverage my experience to advise clients ranging from multinational corporations to private equity funds on strategic cross-border transactions.

My practice encompasses a broad range of complex corporate transactions and private equity deals across diverse industry sectors, including financial services, technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, and defence. I have extensive experience advising clients on transactions spanning various jurisdictions, bringing deep expertise in navigating the commercial and transactional complexities of cross-border deals.

My cross-border transaction expertise has equipped me with the ability to navigate complex multi-jurisdictional legal frameworks and collaborate effectively with diverse international teams, ensuring seamless execution of sophisticated corporate deals.

I also have substantial experience in private equity and venture capital fund formation in major European jurisdictions, including representing institutional investors in fund investments and co-investments.

Before joining Bird & Bird, I worked at other major US and UK international law firms.

I am fluent in English, in addition to my native Hungarian.
